Response to the second phase review into patient safety
Published on 30/06/2023
A statement on behalf of Dame Yve Buckland, Chair and Jonathan Brotherton, Interim Chief Executive:
“We are listening, learning and welcome the additional assurance and support that has been provided through the independent oversight of Prof. Mike Bewick and his team; we thank them for their second report.
“We have taken the concerns raised to date incredibly seriously and have reflected, reviewed and reset; openly acknowledging and accepting our failings. We will approach any new lines of enquiry that are raised within this second report in the same way.
“Not wishing to wait solely for the findings and recommendations from the external reviews, a series of bold – but necessary and fundamental – changes have already been made to put us back on a positive path.
“Our unstinting focus is on providing the best possible patient care to our patients, building a values-led culture and supporting our 24,000 incredible colleagues.”
